A method and apparatus for transmitting and/or receiving digital content through an Internet protocol (IP) network are provided. The method of receiving a digital content file from a content server by a device in a home network, includes: receiving access information of the digital content file from another device in the home network which is permitted to access the digital content file; directly requesting the content server to transmit the digital content file, based on the received information; and receiving the digital content directly from the content server. In this way, an overload that can occur in a device relaying digital content, as the device relays digital content to a plurality of devices on a home network, can be prevented. |
